"They are."
Watch Elizabeth Holmes' lie to Forbes about Theranos back in 2015, before the company imploded and she was sentenced to 11 years for wire fraud, and a decade before Nathan Fielder's "You Can See Everything."

Musk’s pledges to give every American child a SpaceX share. But will he really go through with it? Don't hold your breath. As @DurotMatthew writes. . .
"Musk has a long history of making grand promises but failing to deliver. ...he tweeted about giving $6 billion to the U.N. World Food Program if the organization presented him with a plan for how the funds would be used; it did, but Musk’s gift never materialized....
"Musk promised to fund repairs to water systems in any Flint, Michigan home with contamination above FDA levels but ended up giving only $500,000 for filters in Flint schools." Read more: forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2…

New investigation: “Trump’s Golf Empire Is A Billion-Dollar Tax Shelter” forbes.com/sites/danalexande…

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office:
The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.
Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.
But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.
The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.
We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

NEW: Last fall, executives at TikTok slashed the number of violations for which a TikTok advertiser could be immediately banned by more than half, from 37 down to 13, according to policy documents and four TikTok sources. That opened the floodgates to a surge in scams.
“We can’t do anything about it. We have to idly sit by and continue to watch people get scammed and get their money stolen,” said one of the TikTok insiders.
Great reporting here from @SchwabKatharine and @_IainMartin
EXCLUSIVE: Last year, TikTok’s executives quietly defanged its advertising rules, opening the floodgates to fraudsters that target American users with fake sales of products that never arrive. Sources told Forbes the change was understood internally as a way to make more money.

Forbes estimates that David Ellison is now most definitely a billionaire after his Skydance deal. . .

These 5 U.S. senators—from Whitehouse to Collins—have the most riding on data center buildouts, per @kylekhanmullins

Vivek Ramaswamy is worth an estimated $2.3 billion, up from $1.8 billion a year ago and up from just $1 billion in March 2025. If elected in November, the 41-year-old businessman-turned-politician would become America’s second-richest governor and third-wealthiest elected official in the U.S.
